In today's video, we look at the strange legacy of Street Fighter EX, the first ever Street Fighter to game to feature polygonal graphics. Let's look at what Capcom's odd partnership with Arika would bring to the table.

The EX series had a fantastic OST.. One I still love listening to to this day.

Crazy how the Ex series’ OST had the longevity. You still hear it in the background of so many YT videos

EX will always be my favorite, Kairi, Garuda, Allen and Blair have a special place in my heart.

I can't get over that Capcom allowed Arika to keep the rights to all the original characters. I've heard it was a show of faith but doing this nowadays is unheard of.

Doctrine Dark has like a "Get Over Here" move like Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.

Would love to see skullo and D.Dark in SF 6 . Loved the EX series so much

@blaineomaraemusic2429 3 years ago

I will always love the EX Franchise. It was a huge part of my childhood and the soundtrack gets played almost daily. Wish it got more love

Skullomania needs to come back

SF3's graphics are as beautiful as the first day I saw them back in the 90's but still, the blocky polygons of Tekken, VF and EX look equally nostalgic to people like us.

I liked how the background rotates when you hit the character in a different directions

I'm down for Skullo and D.Dark to make a return

Ex Plus Alpha and EX3 hands down are my personal favorites. It really got me into fighting games more. EX Plus Alpha, EX3, Alpha 3, X-men vs Street Fighter, Tekken 2 and 3 made me love fighting games forever.

Gotta admit that SF EX2 Plus is still my favorite SF game

@arthurman6129 3 years ago

EX2 Plus was pretty huge in the Hong Kong arcade scene in the early 2000s

I think the reason as to why it isn't talked about, as much, isn't because no one liked it, but rather not many played it.

SF:EX came out when Capcom saturated the market. It also had next to no media exposure. I only found out about the game at Hollywood Video via a cut out that was over shadowed by another Capcom fighter [I think it was MVC]. I only saw one ad in PSM during the time before I had it. Even when I saw it, young me taught it was a t.v. show 'cause 3d models cartoons was also a thing in the late 90's. I would have never asked my folks to get me the game, if a friend from school didn't get the game (by accident-- his mom went to get him the latest SF and the salesman gave her SF:EX).

Street Fighter EX Plus @ was such an underrated series. D Dark, Area, Blair, & Pullum were Street Fighter who need more time in the spotlight.

@franciscor390 3 years ago

The Street Fighter EX series is super underrated, three great games that still plays great and the music is chefs kiss.

My best friend and i played Street Fighter EX plus Alpha like crazy back in the PS1 day and had a blast. All these years later I still love its soundtrack and hope something can be worked out legally to get Skullomania back into a new Street Fighter game.
